I. General
A. Introduction
The 3M Brand/MS2Cross-Connect is designed to
provide random cross-connecting between Feeder
and Distribution PIC cables of diameter .7 mm - .32
mm (22-28 AWG). Frames within the cabinets hold
banks of terminated 25-Pair Feeder and Distribution
Modules. Cable pairs are terminated and excess cut
off in a single mechanical operation. Modules can
either be installed initially or added at a better date
with no disruption of existing circuits.
Cross-connecting is accomplished using .5 mm
diameter (24 AWG) plastic-insulated wire which is
run from Feeder to Distribution Modules. Jumper
connections are made and excess wire is cut off by
pressing wire in proper “U” contact channels with
an MS24055 Impact Insertion Tool. Wire race ways
are provided for protection of all cable and jumper
pairs as they are installed.
B. MS2Cross-Connect Pedestal and Pole-
Mount Cabinets
Due to the terminal sizes and frequency of
installation visits, the closures should be located
as specified by the engineering plan. The closures
should be located in unobtrusive locations
acceptable to the property owners and where they
are reasonably protected from damage by motor
vehicles and other machinery. They should also be
at least 1.5 m (5 feet) from utility poles and at least
.3 m (1 foot) from buildings, fences or other objects
considered to be potential lightning attractions.
The terminals are constructed of galvanized steel
with a gray/green baked enamel finish.
The pedestal cabinets feature a ventilation system
whereby the vents may be opened or closed
depending on local condensation conditions.
All MS2Cross-Connect Cabinets include:
(1 ) 4047 Pair Test Plug
(2) 4055 Impact Insertion Tool
(3) Talk Block
(4) Jumpering Instructions
(5) Binding Post Log
(6) Wire Run Guide
(7) Spindle for mounting wire spool

E. MS2Cross-Connect Module
1. Description
Each cross connect application is based on the 25-Pair MS2
Module, a two-part block which contains U contacts, wire
channels, and cut-off blades. Molded of polycarbonate
with phosphor bronze U-contacts and stainless steel cut-
off blades, the module body-cover assembly and base are
crimped together to terminate Feeder or Distribution pair
with a 3M hand or air hydraulic crimping unit The U-
contacts strip the insulation and mate with the conductors,
and the cut-off blades trim excess wire, in the mechanical
crimping operation. Binder groups may be identified on
the module mounts, and pairs can be identified on tagging
labels on the cover protector.

III.Pedestal Cabinet Cable Routing
A. MS24065 (300-Pair) Cabinet
1. Pairs to be terminated must run through the grommeted
holes in Hinged Panel.
2. Form a .6 m (2 ft.) gooseneck behind Panel to allow for
slack. See Figure 37.
3. The loop through cable (express pairs) should be taped
or wrapped and secured to rear of cabinet.
4. Cable Ties are provided to secure cable to Backboard.
B. MS24080 (600-Pair) Cabinet

1. Allow 76 - 102 mm (3" - 4") of cable slack by forming
a dog-leg and temporarily tie cable in place. This
prevents stress damage to Modules during normal
settling and shifting of ground. See Figure 38.
2. Remove tie after completion of terminating.
C. Cable Terminated In Cabinet
1. If feeder or distribution pair count exceeds the capacity
of the front side of the Frame, the balance should be
terminated on the rear Frame.
2. Bond and secure cables to Bond Bar per standard
procedure.
3. Repeat until all cables are bonded and secured.
D. Cable Looped Through Cabinet
1. Identify binder groups that will terminate in this
Cabinet.

Frame on MS24065, 4080 and 4082 Cabinets).
3. If future additions are to be made, store involved
express binder groups in Frame where they will
eventually be used. Wrap express binder groups if
required.
4. Bond and secure cables to Bond Bar per standard
procedure. See Figure 39.
5. Repeat until all cables are bonded and secured.

1. Pole Mount Installation:
Mount cabinet in desired position on pole using hardware
included. Follow standard procedure. See Figure 43.
2. Cable Installation:
a. Cables should enter cabinet through ports directly in
line with appropriate module frame. If only a single
cable is to be terminated, place cable in center port to
provide the best protection for the cable.
b. The preferred method is to mount the feeder cable in
center Module frames and mount distribution cables
in outer frames as shown in Figure 44.
c. Loop through cables may be installed in the bottom
of a cabinet by removing cabinet End Cap Plate. See
Figure 36.
